Updating pointers in a function

Question

I am passing a pointer a function that updates it. However when the function returns the pointer it returns to the value it had prior to the function call.

Here is m

C is passing parameters by value, so it makes a copy of pSrc inside your function, and all the changes you've made are applied to a copy of pSrc. If you want to change the value of pSrc, then you should pass a pointer to pSrc, like this:

static void func(char **pSrc){ // pointer to char*
     int x;
     for (x = 0; x < 10; x++)
         (*pSrc)++
}
